Energy Gels
Shop energy gels at Elite Supps. An energy gel is fast-acting fuel for endurance - concentrated carbohydrate in a small, squeezable sachet that tops up your energy mid-run, mid-ride or mid-race when your body's stores start to run low. Every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so you can choose with confidence.
How Energy Gels Work
During long efforts, your muscles burn through stored carbohydrate (glycogen). An energy gel delivers a quick, easily absorbed dose of carbs to help keep you going and stave off the dreaded "wall". Many gels provide around 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrate per serve, and some add electrolytes or caffeine for an extra lift.
With or Without Caffeine?
Caffeinated gels give you a mental and physical lift for the back end of a long session or race - useful when fatigue sets in. Caffeine-free gels suit shorter efforts, caffeine-sensitive athletes, or anyone already getting caffeine elsewhere. Keep your total daily caffeine in check (FSANZ suggests around 400mg).
How to Use Them
A common approach is to take a gel every 30 to 45 minutes during prolonged exercise, with water to aid absorption - but it pays to practise your fuelling in training rather than trying something new on race day. Follow the product's guidance and find what your stomach tolerates.
